The formula to calculate the duty cycle (D) is:
\[ D = \frac{PW}{T} \times 100 \]
Where:
A duty cycle is defined as the ratio of the pulse width to the period of a transmitter and is a measure of the time that the transmitter is emitting a signal. It is typically expressed as a percentage. A higher duty cycle means the signal is on more often, while a lower duty cycle means the signal is on less often.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula to calculate the duty cycle:
\[ D = \frac{0.5}{2} \times 100 = 25\% \]
The Duty Cycle (D) is 25%.
